Chisholm’s injury has opened the door for Jorbit Vivas, who has been recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. While the Yankees have not provided a definitive timeline for Chisholm’s return, even minor oblique strains can sideline players for weeks. Will Vivas finally get his chance to shine in the majors?
This injury raises questions about Chisholm’s performance this season. Despite hitting seven homers, his .181 batting average and high strikeout rate have been concerning. Key developments include:
- Chisholm’s strikeout rate has spiked to 31.2%, a significant increase from last year.
- Vivas boasts a strong Triple-A performance, hitting .319 with more walks than strikeouts.
- The Yankees are yet to determine how long Chisholm will be sidelined.
Fans will be eager to see how Vivas performs in his potential debut. With upcoming games on the horizon, the Yankees will need to adapt quickly to maintain their competitive edge.
